2014 Map of Coden

About this map

Bayou La Batre anchors this coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intricate tidal waterways and bayous of southern Mobile County. Small settlements such as Coden, Delchamps, and Laurendine are connected by a network of local roads that navigate around West Fowl River and Portersville Bay. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking several local burial sites including Oddfellows Cem, Catholic Cem, and the English Cem. The transition from the developed waterfront to the inland reaches is marked by small aviation facilities like Dale O. Galer Aerodrome and Roy E. Ray Airport, illustrating the mixture of maritime industry and rural land use in this Gulf Coast region. Further east, the terrain constricts at The Narrows near Mon Louis Island, where the East Foul River and Delehamps Bayou meet the marshy shoreline.
